Prior to 5D, Thunder Ridge Business Center, LLC is required to have an asbestos inspection by a State of Colorado CDPHE certified asbestos inspector who will collect bulk samples of the suspect ACM and have those samples analyzed at a certified laboratory for asbestos content. Thunder Ridge Business Center, LLC hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) via Ridge Runner Construction Company, Inc. to perform an unlimited asbestos inspection for the house. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Ben Baker of HealthSafe on Thursday, June 08, 2023, with Brent Lough of Ridge Runner Construction Company, Inc. present during the initial survey, inspection and sample collecting. All suspect ACM were identified by homogenous materials and sampled randomly respective to the scope of those materials slated for 5D. The suspect ACM collected and analyzed by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following: 1. Skip Trowel Surfacing Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-5: ST-1,2,3,4,5], collected randomly from the kitchen SE corner, living room north wall between the bedroom doors, NW bedroom NW corner, living room west of the front door, and east bedroom NW corner, respectively, using the AHERA random sampling grid # 15. This surfacing material/texture is friable and located on the ceilings and walls of the house. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf (±2,375 sf), requiring a minimum of at least five surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 2. Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 6-7: JC-1,2], collected from the living room SW corner and east bedroom NE corner, respectively. This material is friable and applied to the house interior drywall system. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3. Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 8- 9: J-1,2], collected from the living room SW corner and east bedroom NE corner, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are friable and located on the ceilings and walls of the house with plaster and acoustic “popcorn” ceiling applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf (±2,375 sf), requiring a minimum of at least two composite core samples of all layers. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3 4. Sheet Vinyl Flooring, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 10-11: SV-1,2], collected from the kitchen/entry NW corner and bathroom doorway, respectively. This material is friable and located in the kitchen and bathroom. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±125 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. Stucco Surfacing Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 12-14: STC-1,2,3], collected randomly from the house exterior NE corner, NW bedroom NW corner, and SW corner, respectively, using the AHERA random sampling grid # 15. This surfacing material/texture is friable and located on the exterior walls. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 10 sf, but less than 1,000 sf (±450 sf), requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 6. Tar Paper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 15-16: TP-1,2], collected from the house exterior NE corner. This material is non-friable and located around the house exterior. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±450 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. A total of 16 suspect homogeneous ACM bulk samples were collected, and 16 samples were analyzed. The bulk samples were analyzed by EPA 600 PLM analytical methods by a NVLAP accredited laboratory in accordance with Colorado State Regulation 8 for the presence of asbestos mineral fibers. There is NO asbestos in all 16 samples. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #23023572_1. HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated for 5D in this house demolition project. NO asbestos abatement will be required for any of the building materials. All building waste and debris can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous building waste. Sincerely Submitted, Ben Baker 4 5 4 3 2 1 9 7 8 6 11 10 16 15 14 13 12 5 COLORADO & FEDERAL ASBESTOS REGULATIONS SUMMARY Regulation No. 8 Part B – Asbestos of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Air Quality Control Commission requires a State-certified Asbestos Building Inspector to inspect and collect bulk samples of all suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) prior to their disturbance, removal or demolition and disposal. The suspect materials shall be analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory by polarized light microscopy (PLM) using EPA 600 analytical method. A material which is estimated to contain more than 1% asbestos is classified as ACM/ACBM and regulated by the State and Federal governments. Any friable (able to crush or reduce to powder by finger pressure) asbestos with trace amounts of asbestos fibers or less than 1% must be point-counted using EPA 400 analytical method to prove that it is indeed less than 1%; if not, it must be classified as ACM/ACBM and shall be treated as a State and Federal regulated material. Any friable asbestos containing material (greater than 1% asbestos concentration) or ACM/ACBM that could be rendered friable during its removal or demolition and disposal shall require an asbestos abatement by a certified asbestos abatement contractor to remove and dispose of the material(s). A Colorado State (CDPHE) issued asbestos abatement permit is required for the following trigger levels of ACM/ACBM: 1. Residential buildings of four or fewer units--if more than 32 square feet of any surface coverage (e.g., gypsum wallboard or drywall and associated applied surfacing materials/textures, acoustic sprays, joint compounds, plaster, etc.), 50 feet of asbestos covered or asbestos insulated pipe or any material which would fill a 55-gallon drum is going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement permit is required. 2. Residential complexes with more than four residential units, public access areas to a residential building, commercial and retail buildings, public and civic buildings, industrial buildings--if more than 160 square feet of surfacing materials, 260 linear feet or more than 35 cubic feet (NESHAP) or 55-gallon drum (CDPHE) of suspect ACM/ACBM is going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement permit is required under NESHAP and by the CDPHE. See note below on OSHA. The regulations require an absolute minimum of 3 samples (EPA suggests 9) per homogenous suspect surfacing and TSI materials and an absolute minimum of 2 samples of homogenous miscellaneous materials or any number of “samples sufficient to determine whether a material is ACM” (Reg8.IV.D.3). More samples are required based on surface area or volume. These are minimums; the asbestos building inspector has the field responsibility to determine homogenous materials and the number of samples to collect per material; more than the minimum number of samples may be necessary at the discretion of the inspector. An assessment of friability and functional space conditions of the materials are also the inspector’s field responsibilities. 6 OSHA compliance is required for all employers and employees no matter the quantity of asbestos present with strict regulations regarding 10 sf or more of TSI or friable surfacing materials, and therefore it does not matter what the quantity or State trigger levels are: all suspect ACM/ACBM shall be inspected and tested for asbestos prior to their disturbance, removal and disposal for worker protection and safety. See EPA 40 CFR 763.121 Worker Protection Rule, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Respirator Protection Standard, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 General Industry Standard and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 Construction Standard regulations when dealing with asbestos hazards. Note: County or City regulations may be more stringent. / #23023572 Analysis Report prepared for Healt hSafe Inspec tions 390 Ap p le DriveBasalt, CO 81621 Ph o ne: (970) 920-2100 Thun d er Rid g e B u siness Center, LLC6768 S H-8 2 WGlenwood S prings, CO 8160 1 C o llected : J u n e 8 , 2023Received: J u n e 9, 2 023Reported: Ju n e 16, 2023 We w ould like to thank you for trusting Hayes Microbial for your analytical needs!

PLM Analy s is All Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) results include an inherent uncertainty of measurement ass ociated with estimating percentages by PLM. Materials with interfering matrix, low as bestos content, or small fiber size may require additional analysis via TEM Analysis. TEM Analy sis Analysis by TEM is capable of providing positive identification of as bestos type(s) and s emi-quantitation of asbes tos content. Definitions 'None Detected' - Below the detected reporting limit of 1% unles s point counting is performed, then the detected reporting limit is .25%. New York ELAP Per NY ELAP198.6 (NOB), TEM is the only reliable method to declare an N OB material as Non-As bestos Containing. Any N Y ELAP samples that are subcontracted to another laboratory will display the name and ELAP Lab Identification number in the report page heading of those s amples.
